Deployable TOW controlled by WSAD keys?

[Aquiller]

The new deployable mortar made me wonder - it will require some skill from a player to use it effectively. How about making the TOW more difficult too?

My idea is to make it WSAD-controlled. We already saw suggestions to make this system fit in tanks too - but they're quite different than deployable TOWs. First of all, the turret is powered by an engine, so quick turning is possible and realistic. The TOW, on the other hand, has to be turned by a soldier himself - WSAD control would reflect this small inconvinence.
Unless of course, I've made a mistake and the TOWs IRL are fast-turning... then scrap the idea.

Whaddya think?

Would be really hard shooting moving targets. Im happy being able to hit most things atm.

Well at least last time I checked someone was planning on working on it

This was discussed awhile ago and I'm pretty sure its a resuggestion, but none the less its an excellent idea.

Would introduce a sense of balance. There were to sides to the argument, I argued that its unrealistic for a TOW crew to be able to track a moving helicopter and shoot it down, or spin around incredibly fast to avoid small arms fire while the MA Eddie Baker thought otherwise.

I could swear I've searched - "TOW + WSAD", nothing came up. Besides that tank thingie.

Anyways, looking forward into 0.95!

They're just such a big target...

I don't think shooting helicopters and apcs on full throttle is considered most things, rarely is the TOW used to that high of a caliber. Keep in mind that this game is stressing for realism and balance.

WSAD would be good, and a 30-45second reload time would be good too. the tow sniping is getting out of hand.

Resuggestion so locked.
